I’ve heard about this idea a lot, but on the flip side it doesn’t seem to make sense. Us as 3D beings can’t naturally encounter 2D things, just representations of them (drawings etc), but nothing in the real world that has just 2 dimensions. So how could it be possible for there to be 4 (or more) dimensions?
In: 3
The idea is that those dimensions are very very very small.
Treating a hose as a 2D object, but if you look at it from very far away – where the hose looks very very small – then it *looks* like a 1D because its thickness is imperceptible.
This is what is proposed for more than three dimensions. And, if it’s true, then we aren’t actually 3D beings, we’re as many (D)imensions as there exist, it’s just all but 3 are scrunched up really small.
